3 Fire Detection System
3.1 System Description
3.1.1 Introduction
The CFD5000 Fire Detection System (FDS) is suitable for use in environments
requiring Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2).
The CFD5000 FDS complies with relevant standards in order to reach the market
segments of the railway industry and is certified according to EN 50126, EN
50128, EN 50129 and EN50657 (the RAMS standards for railways) and applicable
environmental standards.
Consilium’s latest generation of products is built as a platform of hardware
modules that can be combined to form fire- and gas detection systems. The
modular build-up makes the systems scalable and adaptable. Consilium calls this
scalable and adaptable product platform the Consilium Common Platform (CCP).
3.1.2 Systems and Interfaces
This section gives an overview of the CFD5000 FDS and how it interacts with its
surroundings; especially CCP Fire.
3.1.2.1 CCP Fire
The CCP Fire is, in short, Consilium's existing system for detecting fires and to
alert users and external systems about this. As a secondary function the FDS also
have an extensive control of internal fault conditions and alerts about these as well.
The system is intended to be used wherever such a system is needed to enhance the
safety of people and assets from the outbreak of fire. The system has specifications
that have allowed it to be used on trains, cruise ships and in the oil industry as well
as in office or apartment buildings, ensuring a high degree of confidence.
Whenever a fire is detected, the information about this and its location will be
conveyed to the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and the FDS can also activate
fire-fighting measures, alert people via warning signals and/or send the information
to a central control room or the fire brigade.
The CCP Fire is built up of a number of modules that can be mounted on a DIN rail
and connected to each other via a common backbone that contains redundant power
and communication connectors and also an extra hardcoded fire signal.
The modules on the backbone are used for specialised functions like supplying
power to the backbone or connecting to CCP Fire detectors.
Loop units (such as smoke-heat detectors, manual call points and IO controllers)
are connected to the loop module via a loop-line. The loop-line itself consist of a
2-wire cable that supplies power to the loop units and communicates via a
superimposed FSK signal.
